y zo. heavy- 4and. l ulkg5.r` loose ,material rapidly and easily with a minimum of manual labor andv attention One of the objects of .the invention is to provide. such vehicles with simple, positive 25 'and reliable means-for elevatin a 'suitable receiving bucket from a position on the groundv to a position over the vehicle-bodyand for automatically inverting it todump its contents, on reaching the properl position. 1 7

A further object isv to so construct the.

automatic dumping mechanism that the..

vbucket may be invertedl at different points'y over the .vehicle-body to distribute the load. Referring to the drawings: Figure lis a' side elevation of a vehicle body eq'u ip p ed -witl afpreferrd form ofmy lmproved power loading mechanism; .2 is a detailA elevation showing one form ofbucketlift ing'arm with operating connectlons and counterbalance'device carried thereby; Fig.J 3 isa fragmentary detail of. a part of the@ bucket dumping means. `The wagon bodyis indicated;y at 10l equipped withtusualorw suitable" frontend rear "rolling stock ll'and 12 respectively..

These pins when in operative position project through holes in the side of the body to a point where they will engage the 'teeth of wheel 27 to turn the bucket over-for dumping, butwhenthe plate 29 is swung out, said pins are withdrawnpso that they do not engage the teeth of wheel 27 but permit the y bucket to rpass this point without being turned over for dumping. ln this case the teeth ofwheel 27 are engaged by -a succeeding" set of.

so that the bucket will be dumped as shown substantially over the center of the body. lt` is to "be understood that this showing is --merely illustrative and that any desired number of sets of pins or any equiyalent Vrneansadjustable'as may be found most advantageous lfor dumping into diderent parts ot lthe body may be employed within the spirit of my invention. f

,ln Fig. 2 l show a form of the invention wherein the lifting arms 16 instead of having an external gear segment 18 are equipped with an internal gear segment 18 engaged by an operating pinion 19 which may be mounted on a shaft 2G with operating conne'ctions the same as Vform.

lt desired,7 suitable means maybe employed for partly or wholly counterbalancing the weight or" the bucket and its contents. Forexample, as shown in Fig. 2, a counterin the first described weight 39 may be applied to onev or-both oiethe bucket-carryingarms 16? for this purose.

lt is to 'be-'observed that the operating mechanism required for lifting and dump- 'ing the bucket is exceedingly simple and o rnew parts with nothing ever likely to etout of order and that the dumping of the, ucket as well as the turning back thereof 4to receiving position entirely automatic, the dumping being edected with-certainty and precision at the desired part 'of the body. Furtherthe raised arcuate top portions i3 at the sides of the body. permit. lling of the saine with a larger load andat. the same time provide a convenient mounting tor the dumping pins.

. l am aware that the invention can' be'ern-A bodied 1n various other specific forms Vas to details of construction without departing Y from the spirit thereof4 and I therefore desire the present embodiment to be considered as illustrative and not restrictive to the `appended yclannsto indicate the scope of the pins 83mounted on the side of the .body and projecting inward therefrom invention. For example, the gear wheel 27 might be constructed in the form oi ya ear segment, if desired, as only a portion o its toothed -periphery is requiredin practice.

Having ydescribed my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: l y

l. Apparatus 'of the kind described, comprising a vehicle-body, vertically-swinging arms carried by the body, a receiving-bucket having trunnions j ournaled directly arms, and coperating means on the bucket and the vehicle-body whereby the bucket is .automatically inverted for dumping as it comes vto position-over the bodyz.

2. Apparatus of the kind described, coinprising a vehicle-body, vertically-swinging arms carried by the body, the vehiclewheels and axles for lifting said arms, a receiving-bucket having trunnions journaled directly on 'said arms, and coperating means on the bucket and the vehiclebody whereby the bucket is -lautomatically inverted for dumping as it comes to position over the body.

3. AnJ apparatus of the kind described, comprising a vehicle-body, vertically-swinging' arms pivoted to the body, a receiving bucket. j ournaledonl said arms andl carrying a gearwlieel, the vehicle-body carrying 'a gear-rack arranged to be engaged by said wheel for automatically inverting the bucket,

and means for lifting said arms.l

4. An apparatus .of the kind described,

lcomprising a vehicle-body, vertically-swingon said ing arms pivoted to the body, a receiving bucket journaled on said arms and carrying a gear wheel, the vehicle-body .carrying Va gear-rack `curved concentrically with saidarm-pivots and arranged to be engaged by said gear wheel when said arms are elevated, and means for lifting. said arms.

5. Apparatus of the kind described, comprising a vehicle body, Swingin g arms mounted on the body, a receiving bucket journaled at the ends of said arms, and means foreiie'cting a turning over of the bucket to dump the same as it comes to a predetermined position over the body, said means consisting of a toothed member rigid with the bucket and a vseries of pins disposed in an are at the top of thebody, certain of said pins being movable to inoperative position to permit theb'ucket to pass the same before being dumped.

6. Apparatus of the kind described, comprising a vehicle-body, a receiving bucket, and means for inverting the bucket for dumping at a determinate position over the body, said means consisting in teeth rigid with 'the bucket, and coperative means on the body for engaging said teeth, including a lswinging plate and pins carried thereby to be movable. out of operative position, er-

being dumped, and means'forraising the bucket to dumping position.

7. Apparatus of the kind described, comprising a vehicle body, swinging arms mounted on the body, a receiving bcket carried 'by said, arms to rest on the "ground and. be lifted up over the body fof dumping at Wi11,"c`op eratiye means on the bucket and body for automatically inverting the bucket for dulnping as it comes to position over the body,- andnmeans for` operating said arms to lift the bucket;l said means-*consisting in gear segments formed rigid with the arms and motor operated gear connections 'engagingv said gear segments.
